Jan. 16th 2009 U.S. National Threat Level is Elevated

The United States National Vulnerability Threat Level is Elevated. National Threat Advisory The National Threat Level of the airline Industry is now Orange or High. "There is no credible, specific intelligence suggesting an imminent threat that would affect the 56th Presidential Inaugural on Tuesday, January 20. The Inaugural is designated as a National Special Security Event." I just wanted to note that just as there are physical attacks against the national security there can be electronic, or cyber attacks that can have significant impact on national security and prosperity. Attackers often wait until there is a significant change that takes place that allows them a window of opportunity to take advantage. Whether there is a change at the high level internet routers or DNS servers or simply a large holiday where everyone is celebrating or on holiday.
